Corned Beef Hash:  Good, house made. Chunks of corned beef, hash brown style potatoes and diced peppers and onions.
Rest of the food: Very good
Coffee:  Good, Vita coffee served (the roaster is across the street so they should have some good coffee).
Location:  Capital Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
Service:  Very friendly one day and kind of jerks the next.
Corned beef Price: $14.00
Coffee Price: $3.50
Other notables:
In an eclectic neighborhood in Seattle, this old school type dinner has some more upscale food. $14.00 for corned beef hash and $3.50 is on the high side though all the ingredients seem to be high quality and I will gladly pay $3.50 for good coffee considering how much of it I drink in one sitting.

This is one of the few restaurants that I know of in the area that is not a chain and is open 24/7/365.

Coffee:  Meh

Service:  Good

Other notables:
Located in an old shopping center named the “Country Village”.
While the restaurant did not have corned beef, the food was fine. Nothing special but good, typical diner fare. Depending on the time of day you visit, after breakfast, checkout some of the 45 other shops and eateries in the shopping center.
The diner does advertise that it is open during the holidays as well.

Corned Beef Hash:  Good. The corned beef hash is house made with lots of beef, onions, peppers and potatoes. Would have liked it to be more crispy however, it was oddly wet, almost like the whole thing was steamed for some reason.

Rest of the food:  Ok though the scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly (to my taste).

Coffee:  Meh

Location:  Downtown Kent

Service:  Very friendly

Corned beef Price: $11.79

Coffee Price: $2.29

Other notables: A typical greasy spoon that looks like it was last updated in the 70’s. They had 2 different corned beef meals on the menu. One, traditional and the other house made. I assume that the traditional would be from a can.

Corned Beef Hash:  Diced corned beef, red bell peppers and onion with cheddar cheese served inside hash browns like an omelet.

Rest of the food:  Good

Coffee:  Good

Location:  Downtown Bellingham

Service:  Good

Corned Beef Price: $9.95

Coffee Price: $2.25

Other notables: This is billed as the oldest restaurant in Washington state. While it may have been the oldest restaurant, it has moved several times since it was opened and has clearly been updated several times though it may have been 30 years since the last time. That being said, the corned beef and rest of the food is good and is worth a visit if in the neighborhood, just don’t expect ambiance. horseshoe cafe
